A man goes to see his doctor.

Doctor: Well, your test results are back from the lab. I've got bad news and very bad news.
Man: I'll have the bad news first, doc.
Doctor: Well, I'm afraid you only have twenty-four hours to live.
Man: Oh my god! What's the very bad news then?
Doctor: I've been trying to get hold of you since yesterday.

Not to dissect a joke but isn't dying more of a very bad news than a matter of hours? Or is the doctor just a selfish dick who's annoyed he had to spend so long calling someone who's just gonna die anyway? Or have I had too much to drink tonight and am focusing on the wrong cantaloupe?

I think it's the last one. Dying in, say, six months would be bad; dying in about three (...2 ...1) seems worse to me.

And anyway, how would the joke work the other way? "You're going to die RIGHT NOW, and what's worse is holy shit, you're going to die at some point (more so than the rest of humanity)?"

Just move one word. "The very bad news is you have 24 hours to live, the bad news is I've been trying to get a hold of you since yesterday and the good news is my malpractice insurance is paid in full."

When medical science wasn't quite as well-developed, doctors couldn't always be sure whether a man was dead or merely comatose, so they'd lightly scratch a man's scrotum with their fingernails. If the patient got an erection, they'd know he was still alive, and that's why we call them test-tickles, children.

It's always in the last place you look for it, unless you're the kind of person who keeps looking for it after you've found it.

Yesterday my wife and I were out driving and I noticed a house had been torn down so I mentioned it to her. She tells me "Yeah that's where those people were giving me dirty looks because I was bumping DMX. It's not my fault their house was in front of a stoplight. *pause* And now it's fucking gone."

It was the tone of that last sentence that reminded me I should never ask her to turn any volume down.

A man swapped his bed with a trampoline. His wife hit the roof.

A grasshopper walks into a bar. The bartender says, “I’m going to serve you a drink named after you.” The grasshopper looks at him and says, “You have a drink named Steve?”

My dad just asked his phone for a joke, and it came up with this gem:

A sporting goods store had a sale on canoes. It was quite an oar-deal.

Genie: I’ll grant you three wishes.

Man: I’ve heard of this before. Whatever I wish for will come back to bite me in some way.

Genie: I guarantee that won’t happen. In fact, I’ll give you infinite wishes if it does.

Man: I wish for a boomerang with teeth.

Didja hear that President Trump is overseeing the creation of a national lottery that will have much higher jackpots than state based lotteries?

MAGA Millions.
